From the CLI, type 'chsh'

Or, if you have root access to the machine, you can edit /etc/passwd - the login shell for each user is listed there.

I don't know about SUSE but you may also need
to add tcsh to /etc/shells as root first

I typed in chsh and it seemed to change the /etc/passwd for root but it still when I open a command line window from kde it still opens in bash.

How can I get it so that when I open a command line window, I automatically get the tsch?

You're running as root?
